Elizabella was just finishing up her shift at work when her phone was buzzing in her bag. She pulled out it to see that Nathan was calling. A part of her was sad that it was not Jeremy although she knew he would be calling soon. "Hello" She answered. "Liz...I'm out front. Let's hang out for a little bit." He said in a pleasant tone. She knew that this was not a good idea, Nathan has become so irrational ever since she has started dating Jeremy. She could never keep up with Nathan's mood swings. "Nathan... I don't know.." Nathan cut her off. "Oh come on Liz...we haven't hung out properly in awhile now. What you can't have friends? I promise to be on my best behavior" He teased but Elizabella knew there was a seriousness behind it.

She contemplated her options for a moment but didn't want to over think it, she did miss Nathan, as a friend at least. "No...I can. I'll be out in a minute." She rushed before she changed her mind and hung up but quickly dialed Jeremy. "Love, I was just about to call you." He mused. She smiled from the sound of his voice. She felt guilty about what she was about to do but she knew she couldn't tell him the full truth. "Hey babe....I just...I was just calling to let you know that I'm going out with a couple friends. I'm sorry I didn't tell you earlier, I just found out." She said nervously. She wasn't exactly lying. "Oh... That's fine. Are you OK? You sound a little off." He asked with concern.

Elizabella ignored the pang of guilt that she felt. "Oh yeah I'm fine! I'll call you when I get home, yeah?" She said in a sweet tone now. "OK, love. Be careful." He said in his low husky voice. Jeremy's voice always made her feel weak, but in a good way. "I will." She said softly.

Elizabella made her way out on to the street and immediately spotted Nathan sitting in his black sports car. She slipped into the passenger's side and embraced the warmth. "Hey" She said while smiling over at him. He looked nice in his usual leather coat that was unzipped revealing his black tee shirt and his black skinny jeans. "Hey girlie." He chirped while he pulled onto the road. She felt relief to see he was in a good mood. "So where are we going?" She asked. He glanced over at her with a wide grin. "I thought we'd go to our spot...I got some beers in the back. We haven't been there in a long time, I figured it'd be cool." He shrugged while looking back to the road.

She couldn't help but smile. Even though it was cold out she was excited to go. Their spot was tucked away behind trees in a park. It was actually the same park that Jeremy and her walked to before but she didn't show him the spot that Nathan was taking her to.

It didn't take them long to get there. Nathan parked the car and got out and pulled out the beers from the backseat as Elizabella stepped out. She wrapped her arms around herself as it was cold. "You want one of my jackets? I have an extra one in my trunk." Nathan offered. She shook her head though. "I'm fine, thanks." She said politely. He nodded and locked his car. They walked in silence until they reached their spot. It was such a peaceful place and Elizabella remembered all the good memories she had here with Nathan.

Elizabella sat down on a old worn down bench and looked out to the water as she took a deep breath enjoying the fresh scent from the trees around her. She loved the way the air smelled in the fall. It was comforting in a way. Nathan took seat next to her but he kept some distance which she appreciated. She thought maybe that Nathan was finally starting to get over her and they could actually be friends. "So what's been up?" He asked while opening up a beer and passing it to her. "Not all that much, I have been working. Though I did meet some of Jeremy's friends the over day. He's friend's with Jimmie, remember him?" She questioned while sipping her beer.
